Sinopse

Yvette is the daughter of a courtesan who serves men of wealth and status. She seems to be oblivious of how her mother makes money and why they are always in the presence of princes, dukes and barons. Only when she goes away to a holiday at the river, she realizes that the Baron Saval is engaging her mother in such activities and she suddenly feels dirty. She wants to get away from her fate and so tries to inveigle her mother into the idea of living as honest women. However, the Marquise refuses, and explains that they would never be able to survive as working women. That their life of luxury would be so horrifically reduced. Yvette seems to suddenly have no choice. She must kill herself. Through chloroform. So, she goes from pharmacist to pharmacist and collects small vials of it and eventually has a sufficient amount. Before she commits the act, she runs around the town with her mother's guests, making them silly things such as pretending to go to war, riding children's horses, making army noises. Instead of killing herself through chloroform, she accidentally induces a psychedelic trip, and she decides not to kill herself, but keeps on inducing trips instead.  It was greatly described, the way she was so resolute on dying, and how quickly she changed her mind to just get high.

    Before the dawn of a new age can begin, the old one must die. 
    An empire will crumble. And a champion will lose. 
    It’s the same every millennia when the cycle of prophecy begins anew. One by one, the kingdoms of Teitora fall to the words of a book written long ago. 
    On the run, Samara and the Chosen seek refuge in a city that now sees them as traitors. As they regroup, deciding how to face the fallout from their actions, Odessa returns with a broken Keeper and a warning: the dragons have awakened—but that's not the only danger. Pandora, the long-lost Moirai sibling, has arrived, ready to claim her own place in the prophecy’s deadly game. She brings with her a chaotic past, a volatile mind, and an unbreakable bond to the dragons, creatures whose loyalty could shift the tides of war. 
    Now, the prophecy looms closer than ever, forcing each sister to confront a harsh truth: only one of them can claim the dragons' allegiance, and each must fight to ensure her own survival. But the stakes are high, and the cost is steep. 
    Samara, in love with a man bound by duty, and Odessa, slipping further into the darkness of the Shadow Crown, are forced to face their final reckoning. 
    Sisterhood will no longer save them. As the prophecy unfolds, their paths are clear: to survive, they must become enemies. The true battle has just begun, and whoever claims the dragons will shape the fate of the kingdom—but at what cost to their own souls?

    Childhood friends reunite in their mutual struggle against their financial burdens. What magic might they find together under the Harvest Moon? 
    Ever since Kit Mathison took control of the modest estate he inherited, he’s had nothing but setbacks. When the roof of his house caves in and makes the place unlivable, he’s frustrated but not surprised. How much will this disaster cost? Where will he stay while repairs are made? 
    Sylvie Devereaux has remained in her childhood home to help her aging grandparents with their farm, only to realize they need as much care as the crops and livestock. But while love and laughter are prominent in their home, money is not. And the never-ending rain is drowning their wheat along with any hope they have for financial recovery. 
    When Kit returns Sylvie’s wayward goose, they re-ignite the friendship they’d kindled as adolescents and put a plan into action to relieve each others’ burdens: Kit will board with the Devereaux family while his home is repaired, providing money and labor in exchange for their hospitality. But when Kit proposes a marriage of convenience to make the arrangement permanent, Sylvie balks. She has always wanted to marry for love, and they don’t love each other...do they? 
    This short (~2 hour listen) novel is a sweet, kisses-only/closed door Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
